> 02 NOV GENERAL ELECTIONS
Dear Military Service Member:
If you have not requested your absentee ballot for the 2010 general election, do so immediately; it's simple and it's fast.
Go to www.FVAP.gov and use our online registration and absentee ballot assistant, and have your forms completed, printed out, and ready to send back home in less than 10 minutes. Although federal law requires States to begin mailing ballots 45 days before the general election, you still may not get your ballot in time to vote, return it and be counted because of mail delays both to you and for your ballots return home.

> BINGE DRINKING There is nothing wrong with drinking alcohol in moderation, but the key is: If you drink, drink responsibly. Alcohol is not a measuring stick used to determine the caliber of Marine or Sailor you are, but the abuse of alcohol can help determine the type of military career you might have. Admittedly, the Services can't stop every instance of alcohol abuse, whether you are in your BEQ room or off base hanging out with your friends. To try and do this would be impossible, but what the services can do is provide you with the necessary leadership and information you need if you or someone you know is experiencing substance abuse problems.
